Friday, Septcmbr 30,1870. l ' : t i Bepatpr T^onnan on tho Political Sit- A uation. f . i fSonator Thurman, of Ohio, ono of ' tho most distinguished traders of tho Democratic party, has rcccntly deliv- ' crcd a epccch in Cincinnatti, which 1 Las bcon prononnccd tho ablest polit- 1 ical address ever delivered in Ohio in 1 this or any other campaign. The do- ' fiign of tho 6pcccli is to show the rapid strides which tho general govern- ' znent has made towards centralization In l1?f? loot. Inn vnnm llm rn 1 n r>f ' r ' , tho Republican party, and which, whilst absorbing tho long rccognizcd powers of the States, havo almost on- 1 tirely obliterated all idea of tho just 1 limits which defino tho powers of tho General Government and tho States. Tiieso changes havo bc^n cf- J focted as well bj* amendments of the Constitution, as by false interpret a- | tlous of the instrument carried outj( ond embodied in unconstitutional con-jj grcssional legislation. Of those two,11 this, last is the most dangerous, and , tho most frequently resorted to. ( The Federal Constitution was ch- i iablisbed in 178S, and of the ten arli- 1 files of amendment which were adop- 1 ted.iu the three following years, not { .one of them conferred an additional ( power upon the government; hut on t tho contrarv, were al! declaratory of r ;thc rights of llio Siatcs, ami wore dc- * sigucd lo protect these against Feder- t al usurpation. Equally restrictive tip- ; on the Federal Government was the ? eleventh amendment adopted iu 1793; and the twelfth amendment, adopted'J in 1S04, provided merely for the elee- ; tion of President and Vice-President, I and conferred no new powers upon the jv government. On tho contrary, with ! * the advent of tho Republican p:u*ly ( into power, amendments were adopt- s .cd to restrict tho rights of the Stales I i and to enlarge tho powers of the Fed- , oral Government: and such were the.* ^ 13th, 1-ith, and 15tli amendments, llie!( only amendments of that characterjj adopted iu the course ol' eighty-one s years. | J But llie assaults upon the instru- J iRcytby false interpretation and Con- , ^ressional usurpation, havo been mo.-c ! dangerous as they havo been the more 1 insidious. In a timo of profound ' pe^ee, States havo been denied rcprc- ( oontation in Congress, and have been (compelled to modify or abrogate their constitutions at tbo will of the domi- ' liant party?martial law has been declared, and millions of pcoplo havo boon mado dependent upon tho will ojt a ungauier uonerai lor tho cnjoj''mcnt of any civil right?members of tho Stato Legislatures havo boeu excelled from their scats by act of Congress?by tho 6amc authority Federal ,pfScors havo boon directed to interfere in State elections and yostod with power to control the eame?Stato I banks have been taxed out of cxis- ' tcoco?tho right of Congress to con- ' struct works of internal improvement 1 in a Stato, and to regulate th-3 same ' in defiance of Stato law, has been oponly declared and boldly acted upon ~Uio powers of tho Federal courts Ijavo been ouppl^yed at the expense of the Stato courts, bringing the federal government, day by day.more in con tact with tho people?at tho same 1 timo that the government maintains ] a largo army and navy and a largor J host of civil employees, and tho annu- 1 nl taxation amounts to ovor ?500,000,- * 000.*' *' ' " J .This rapid advanca..to centralization tho Senator denounces, for two 1 vnAiiAnn lot nn ^ ' ? ' * uwavuo ;xou? no UCVCDOUUI^ ui<9irui> tivo of tho ekistenco of the Republic? ( and iJd, as equally prejudicial ,to the prosperity of the people. A central- 1 ixed power "may exist and long en- ( dure .in compaet countries of limited J extent; but with such a country and 'of so largo oxtont as ours, tho government would cithctf becomo tho veriest despotism, or bo ront into 1 eeparato and independent fragments. Jiut again in tho great diversity of" i climatos, soils* aud avocations, what injustice would bo effected by ousting the local tribunals, and State Legislatures of their just powers, and conferring those upon a Government with alien interests, will and prejudices? A consolidated Government would first crush out tho liborties of the people. f and then end in a disruption of tho 'lUpnblio. j * "We cannot follow tho Senator *ln ' hi? thorough, and maatorly reviow of wastofut extravaganco of Iiopub- licanism misrule, mado in tho inter. < ?st of (he bond-holdor, and (tho rail- J road monopolist, and tho speculator, 1 trhic^ hav^ o^W,Ba*no <-imo ewolled I the publio tfobt, burdened tho i ?ottritty with n fcadof taxation.'
